Marco & Tanner

Marco and Tanner are two of Stan's CIA trainee students in "The Never-Ending Stories".

When Stan spends the time teaching to instead tell his stories, he has to cheat for his students to pass. He does too well and as a result, the unprepared students are sent on an otherwise suicide mission. When Stan goes after them with Roger in tow in the persona of one of the students mother where they find the guerilla's camp and sneak in. Stan tries to instruct Tanner to swim to a gate to plant an explosive charge to clear the way for their escape, but another student points out that Marco is a Olympic-level swimmer, which Stan never bother to learn because he was too busy talking.
